The Duchess' Kitchen - Winners Announced!

[The Night Faery]

As you enter the Duchess' home, you are immediately hit with a strong urge to sneeze. The place is messy, loud, full of people, and practically bathed in what you can only surmise is... pepper? Still, there is an air of warmth and cheer, despite the crying baby in the corner, and when the Duchess appears before you her arms are open wide to welcome you. "Come in, my dear!" she bellows, ushering you into the kitchen. "Sit down and make yourself comfortable. I was just making some soup."

As you seat yourself at the table, you notice that it is littered with craft supplies. Upon your inquiry, the Duchess grows excited and cries, "I've been making banners for Wonderlanders to hang about every which way, here and there and quite often on the ceiling... It's simply delightful! You should try it, dear-- feel free to use any of my supplies there. The soup's almost ready-- just needs a dash of salt!"

[Banner Contest!]

Get ready to put your graphic-making skills to use with a Wonderland banner contest! Make a banner [or as many as you want!] promoting the guild, a specific character, or Wonderland in general.... And don't worry about not having enough time, because the contest will go well into April!

A note on sizes:
A lot of people have trouble deciding what sizes to make their banners, since there aren't any specific guidelines other than the guild banner and the pixel limit for signatures. So we'll make it easier and give you four sizes to choose from:
88x31 pixels (Button)
200x40 pixels (Guild Banner)
500x150 pixels
400x200 pixels

Other than that, the rules are the same ol' same ol': No explicit (+PG13) material (follow the ToS and use your judgment); all artwork must be original, public domain, or used with permission of the artist; content must fit within the contest guidelines.

[Bonbon Vanille]

Ohh, that's no problem! You can make a banner in GIMP, or MS Paint, or any kind of digital paint program! Just put in a background, maybe some art, something about Wonderland-- you can adjust the size by pixels really easily in MS Paint-- just click and drag (:  

[The Night Faery]

Come on, my friends, don't be shy! Work on a banner or two whilst eating your soup! The Duchess promised me that she's almost perfected her recipe...  

[Living_In_Song]

I'm working on mine!

Don't worry!

 

[The Night Faery]

Oh good!

lol, they're wonderful! I think, considering the circumstances, they are fine to enter. They're about 322x242... so they could go into the 400x200 category. ^-^  

[Living_In_Song]

Really?! If your sure it's alright, then I would be most pleased!

Pancake: I can tell I'm going to love it, but I can only see about a third of the image! D': I'm pretty sure that it's just my computer being all ancient and stuff... I'll try reloading the page in a little bit, haha. Thank you!
